IMPROVEMENT IN GAS-BURNERS.

The Scheule referred to in these Letters Patent and making, part oi' thesame.

To all 'whom it may concern :i

Be it known that I, ROBERT GILL, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burner Tips; andI do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which forni part ot this specification, and in wllich Figures1 and 2 represent longitudinal sections of' a lburnerftip, constructedaccording to my invention,

taken at right angles to each other;

Figures 3 and 4 represent similar views of' the same, somewhat enlargedfor sake of better illustration; and

Figures 5 and (i represent end views thereof, taken at right angles toeach other, also enlarged.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

The invention relates to a burner which produces a iish-tail flame; and

It consists in a novel construction of the tip of the burner, whereby amore satisfactory result is produced, and at a less cost of the tip thanwith the so-called lish-tail burners.

'lhe conical shell or body A, and the end B of. this burner-tip, may beconstructed in the nsual'way, of one piece of metal, as represented ings. l and 2, or it may have said parts formed of separate pieces andfittedtogetl1er afterward, as shown in figs. 3 and 4,

the usual depression c being made in the end.

This depression c is so formed as to cause alcorre- 'sponding inwardswell or projection, e, on theinner side of the end, as also shown.

.Centrally across this swell c isc made an incision o1' stamp and dieafter the tip has been otherwise finished, or when the body and end aremade of separate parts,

as in figs. 3 and 4, the grooves s s and the slot a may be made in theend-piece B, before its inseltion, by a straight cut across its innersurface, by means of a saw or other snitableimplement.' i

By means of the grooves s s, two converging currents of gas areconducted into and through the slot a, which, when meeting each other.at a central point, are caused to spread transversely in the usual way,but so as, when ignited, to produce a more perfectlyformed flame, andconsequently a better light.

What is here claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the slot a and the conductinggrooves s s in theblu'ner-tp, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
